Joining in the discussion was Maria Mendillo, President and CEO of FarraTech. Formerly known as Laser Supply & Service, FarraTech was founded in 1990 and is based in Norcross, GA. In 2007, FarraTech became an employee owned company when the founder, John Farra, decided to retire. Rather than sell the company to a third party, he gave it to his employees. FarraTech provides customer service for laser printer, copier, service or repair. FarraTech’s people, their focus on quality, and their dedication to doing business with integrity is what they care about and strive for daily.
